Book Excerpt

The Vast Landscape

Virgin Ties

High School sucks ass. The boys are rotten, girls stupid cows. Harrison isn’t unpopular. She splits her time between drama geeks, nerds, cheerleaders, and popular seniors. Secretly, she hates them all. That stupid jock she had a mad crush on. Felt her up at a keg party in a barn, ignored her at school. Prick, she’d show him. She’ll show them all. Harrison never fit in. She’s mouthy, loud, outspoken, pretty and smart. Harry counts down the remaining months. Bitches with bleach blond, feathered hair and mountains of hairspray try to goad her. Harrison doesn’t fall for it. Her long, auburn locks with blond highlights Def Leppard style, scream do not fuck with me.
